The Wright-McKnight
Family Reunion
Every family has a story that stretches across generations. Our reunion was created by Octavia Jones, the oldest child of McKinley (Mack) Wright and Carrie McKnight-Wright with the vision of gathering to celebrate the Wright-McKnight family roots. Our first reunion was in 1988 and the legacy of love and family has continued throughout generations. We are excited about coming together to strengthen our roots, foster connection and ensure that the legacy of our ancestors lives on. Our reunion is a chance to gather again, to reconnect, introduce the next generation, and celebrate the people and memories that brought us here. We look forward to celebrating the ties that connect our family.
